Furthermore, the frame aperture to remove the battery is 70 percent smaller than standard also.

This results in a more rigid frame on the Lapierre, essentially a stiffer, smaller downtube. Flexible yet strong, the Snake Technology battery signals a new era in eMTB. It takes roughly 30 seconds to both remove and site, and is both easy and simple to do. The fit is snug so there’s no rattles or noise!

The spec on the Overvolt AM 927i is awesome! The front suspension features FOX 36 Float 27.5 E-bike Factory series forks, Kashima coated. On the rear is a FOX float DPX2 Factory series, also Kashima coated. Shimano’s E8000 70Nm high torque eMTB motor never fails to impress and powers through the most demanding climbs.

In addition, the bike is nicely kitted out with Shimano XT Di2 electronic shifting and SRAM Guide RE brakes. Further enhancements include a Pro Tharsis Trail carbon handlebar and stem, with a really nice Fizik Gobi saddle to finish off.

Innovative Frame Design & Battery Technology

Designed by Lapierre’s R&D department to combat the toughest of trails, the range of Shimano powered AM range from Lapierre will ensure easy access to all terrain. These fabulous ebikes are huge performers, extremely potent and immense fun.

Featuring a FOX Float DPX2, 3-position lever, Factory Series, 185x55mm Trunnion rear shock, attachment is via the lower part of the frame. As a result, the weight is lower down providing greater stability. Very short chainstays ensure precision and speed, with the bottom bracket back as far back as possible. Thanks to a very sensible and precise angle on the head tube, the FOX 36 Float 27.5 eBike Factory Series forks on the front ensure rigidity of the forward triangle and supreme stability. All suspension is Kashima coated for ultimate performance.

The Overvolt AMi 927i has excellent traction, never rearing up and maintains a high degree of composure at all times. The 160 mm suspension travel is smooth, efficient and reliable.

Shimano’s Steps E8000 eMTB system facilitates a very natural ride experience and smooth rider assistance. Shimano components feature heavily on the Overvolt AM 927i. Combining the E8000 eMTB motor, E8000 34T crank set and 170 mm crank arms provides the bike with both dynamic and reactive performance. Integrating the Snake Technology battery in such a clever way ensures the rigidity of the Supreme 5 aluminium frame, resulting in a compact and highly pleasing design for the lower tube.

The range of Overvolt AM eMTBs powered by Shimano are truly sensational.
